After pleading guilty in Cherokee County District Court on Dec. 13, an Ada man was handed a 15-year sentence to run concurrently with several other convictions.
According to court documents, Marcus Allen Stopp, 25, received a 10-year suspended sentence for stealing a bread truck. He also stood accused of stealing a Kimber .45-caliber pistol from Brayden Young, then pointing it at him and threatening to shoot him on Aug. 15.
Cherokee County Sheriff's Office reports state Jessica Daugherty claimed Stopp and another suspect then used the firearm to steal a 2018 Chevy Equinox she had been driving.
Later that night, with the assistance of Tahlequah Police Department officers, deputies arrived at a residence, where the stolen vehicle was spotted with the two suspects inside.
Authorities allegedly found a pair of brass knuckles and a Taser in female suspect's possession. While searching the vehicle, law enforcement officers also found a mirror with powder residue, a glass smoking pipe, and a black flashlight in the front passenger floorboard that contained a plastic bag with a crystal substance inside. They also spotted 92 pills, including Xanax, hydrocodone, oxycontin and alprazolam.
Deputies recovered the firearm and a loaded magazine hidden in the liner of the vehicle near the sunglasses holder.
Stopp received 15 years for unlawful possession of controlled drug with intent to distribute, larceny from a person, feloniously pointing firearm and possession of firearm after felony conviction; five years for unauthorized use of a vehicle; and one year suspended for possession of controlled dangerous substance. The charge of robbery with a firearm was dismissed.
The defendant was given credit for time served and earned since Aug. 15.
Special Judge Matt Orrendorff accepted the plea and Assistant District Attorney Eric M. Jordan was listed as the prosecutor. Stopp was represented by court-appointed attorney Rachel Dallis.
